Incidents
As you can see by this graph, the majority of the runway safety accidents and fatalities occur in the runway excursion area.
Most excursions are survivable, and only a small % are fatal. However, the overall numbers are so large that even that small % adds up to a lot of fatalities.
Accident data alone does not fully inform the discussion.

3. Position of Own Ship on the Airport Surface,
International Coordinating Council of Aerospace Industries Associations
Eliminating Runway Incursion and Confusion requires Flight Crew Awareness of:
Position of Own Ship on the Airport Surface,
Position of Other Traffic on the Airport Surface,
Taxi Route,
Conflicting Traffic.

4. Program Implementation Considerations
International Coordinating Council of Aerospace Industries Associations
Program Implementation Considerations
Airbus solution to reduce runway incursion and confusion risk is based on On-board Airport Navigation System (OANS)
Superimposition aircraft real time position on an airport moving map
Improvement of flight crew situation awareness during airport surface operations
Selection capability of different modes and zoom with corresponding maps displayed on the Navigation Display
Triggering of graphical alerts on Navigation Display when aircraft approaches runways
Cornerstone for the integration of surface operations features (brake-to-vacate, taxi route, surrounding traffic, etc.)
Design philosophy
OANS is not a guidance system and displayed information must be correlated by the pilot with outside world
Implementation
New equipment: On-board Airport Navigation Computer (OANC)
DO272/ED99/ARINC 816 Airport Map Database required
Certification Date
A380: Certified and in-service since 2007
A320 family: Q1 2012
A330/A340: Q2 2012
A350XWB: At Entry-Into-Service

5. Program Implementation Considerations

Program Implementation Considerations
Significant fleet coverage needed to achieve widespread safety benefit.
New, Derivative and Production Aircraft
Retrofit Aircraft
Our approach to equipage is different for new airplanes then it is for retrofit.
On new airplanes we are balancing cost versus customer requirements and preferred solutions.
In retrofit we concerned about fleet penetration. In order to make an impact the feature has to be install on the airplane. This can result in solutions that may not be as elegant. 5

Position Awareness
(incursion/confusion)
In order to mitigate the risk we have developed a spectrum of solutions.
VSD, HUD, RNP IAN are solutions that help the crew manage their energy during descent and fly very precisely during approach in order to reduce the risk of excursions.
Runway Incursion risk is reduced by know where you are on the airport surface. This is accomplished via an Airport Moving Map on either the Nav Display or an Electronic Flight Bag.
RAAS (Runway Alerting Advisory System) is a feature in the Ground Proximity Warning System that also informs the crew of where they are on the airport surface.

In the future we are planning on adding additional features to augment our current equipage offerings.
Specifically we will add information about other surface traffic to continue to reduce risk of incursion. We will add alerting of traffic conflict.
In addition we are working with Honeywell to add additional features to the Ground Proximity System to alert the crew to a unstable approach or the fact they are landing long.
